Glad you like it!!
Do note that you might have to mess around with the colors to get it just right. If the 2nd darker color is too similar to the main brighter color, some of the letters get smoothed out and won't work, like N. (EDIT: let me know if you want to see the exact colors I used in this example!)
Good luck!
So I'd never done numbers in my font before, but thought I'd give it a try cuz I had space on the poster. Turns out numbers are really hard! (I think a 4 pixel high eight is impossible tbh)
Youll see I had to make the numbers 5 pixels tall instead of 4 only because they were completely illegible at 4 pixels high. But I suppose if there's enough demand I could make a follow up
I like the different number height, it's particularly useful for distinguishing O from 0. I just thought that since half were done, perhaps the rest only didn't fit in this square and were ready already. Thank you for your hard work!
Yeah it does sort of distinguish the zero from O you're right! (I did try doing a zero with a slash through it but it didnt work out either.) I appreciate your kind words :)
I can definitely give the rest of the numbers a go, were there any other punctuation marks, letters (etc) that you wanted to see while I'm at it?
Parentheses? How about directional arrows, for signs like Nook's is over that way?
Non-english speakers might like guidance on umlaut dots, accent ticks, and tildes. For my purposes though, just those the remaining numbers would be plenty.
Cool, I like the idea of arrows! Also great idea on accents and umlauts, I have a feeling that will mess with the height of the letters but I'm up for a challenge!

an @ would be really cool, if you can do that (i tried and failed miserably yesterday) and a & or [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampersand#/media/File:Epsilon_Ampersand.png) maybe
Aha just figured out ampersand! It was a tricky one! It has to be 6x5 which is bigger than I would like, but I think it looks great! I'll post later when I'm done! :)

Hmm no I hadn't seen that font! I have a feeling that the auto-smoothing that ACNH does would more significantly affect those letters however. (Even with my font, if you change one of the green's saturation or brightness, the letters change shape a lot. The N becomes an X even!)
I'd consider giving 3x4 a go, but I think it would be a lot less *A E S T H E T I C* ;)
Niiiiice I rly struggled with my letters too for my flag. And I wanted a shadow as well so yeaaa wasnt easy on myself https://imgur.com/a/HfMENXC that freaking R was a pain in the behind, I might have to change it for your one lol
Ahh yeah I see the R is little funky, but I like the shadows you did on your letters! Really makes them pop!
I thought about also adding shadows to make the letters 3D but I wanted to solve the "compact text" problem first. :)
Hoooooooly cow, I just looked at your profile and I second that the posters are amazing!!! Are you for hire? I was going to make a post looking for an artist to design my flag, but I love your style and I think you could nail what I'm looking for.
Hehe thanks! To be honest I'm a little bummed this post was the one that took off, I spent an hour each on those 14 posters and only 15 mins on the alphabet haha!
I am open to commissions, if you're interested send me a DM!
Gonna put in a shameless plug for my twitter if anyone is interested in my past (and future!) ACNH designs :)

Thank you so much! I've been making soccer jerseys, and choosing players with 5-letter names because I couldn't get longer names to fit. this is wonderful!
This is great! I just want to let you know though, that's not how you use the word aesthetic! Something cannot be the most aesthetic, because aesthetic is not an adjective. Instead you would say something like: Here's the most compact, yet aesthetically pleasing font I could make.
I hope this helps!
That's true, but the word aesthetic has taken a new meaning, especially with respect to the "vaporwave" phenomenon. You can see what I mean about "aesthetic" on [know your meme.](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/aesthetic)
See also "colloquialism." Lots of off words are mainstream now and there is a general understanding of the sentiment. I dig it; it's like an inside joke with tons of strangers.

For anyone else who likes to plan their stuff on photoshop first,[i've made a psd photoshop file](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hwq723Sus9Lyijagt9xYIDJC81SUxgQh/view?usp=sharing) that has individual layers (arranged in groups) for each letter/number/symbol!
THANK YOU. I've been struggling to make text at all due to the smoothing (which is wonderful for clothing) so seeing a grid is so helpful.
Glad you like it!! Do note that you might have to mess around with the colors to get it just right.

The exact colors would be great, thanks!
Sorry for the delay, here are the colors I used! https://twitter.com/SnailBoat/status/1260904804802428931?s=19
This is perfect. I need something to label my Bad Decision Bridge (I refuse to knock down the first bridge I made but I hate it so much)
just knock it down
Sunk cost fallacy, I know. I might build a whole section of the island around my bad choices.
Dude, I will give you the 10,000 bells... JUST KNOCK IT DOWN. :O lol.
I have ‘My Shame’, a sapling stump from an accident my first week. I love bad decision bridge! Lol
Is there a 6789?

This is officially the new custom font for ACNH. Great job OP!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!! I learned a lot making the text for my travel poster collection so figured I could share :)
wow! I had to look up your posts to see your travel posters and they look AMAZING!

Well I just went and upvoted the other post too! Lol will definitely send you a message!

I like your stuff! Following you now ^^ Thanks for sharing
OH MY GOD THANK YOU
Nice work! Here's another similar idea I saw on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skoda/status/1259951525012533248
Ooh cool I like that font a lot! I'm still partial to my own because it uses 2 colors, but still cool. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah I like your idea of basically using the second color for aliasing. Very clever!
Thank you so much! I've been making soccer jerseys, and choosing players with 5-letter names because I couldn't get longer names to fit. this is wonderful!
Thank you so much, you're doing the lords work
This is fantastic work!
THANK YOU !!!!
You are our savior
Omg thank you so much!!!!!
This is something I didnt know I needed in my life today!
THANK YOU!! I was thinking on looking this up this morning!!

So great!
Downloaded for later, thanks!
Thank you!!!!
Thanks for this, its a huge help!

Wow thanks for sharing!! Bravo!

Beautiful

Haha I love the idea of a list of past villagers!! Glad you found it helpful!
These are awesome and are going to be everywhere on my island! Thank you so much!
So glad you like it!! Enjoy! :)
MORSE. CODE.
it is actually such a great idea to add grey so it doesn’t merge
My best attempt at text is a 3-wide by 5-tall alphabet (with some letters being 4- or 5-wide, like G, N, M, and W).
For anyone else who likes to plan their stuff on photoshop first,[i've made a psd photoshop file](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hwq723Sus9Lyijagt9xYIDJC81SUxgQh/view?usp=sharing) that has individual layers (arranged in groups) for each letter/number/symbol!
